Tasting Notes

Paso-Primero is an independent family business located in Somontano, in the central Pyrenees of northern Spain. Winemakers Thomas and Emma Holt settled in the region to fulfil their ambition to combine ancient traditions and modern techniques to make their own wines in their own style. Traditional fermentation based on temperature in stainless vats and ageing partly in barrels and stainless vats which gives the wine a nice balance. Exuberant and charming, a rich and fruity wine with aromas of black cherries coated in chocolate, liquorice and toasted oak and a freshness finish.
